Birthdays, Friends, Fun, and Memories

This past weekend one of my great friends and sorority sister came up from MD to visit me for the weekend for her 30th birthday. When she first told me she was coming she said she didn't want to make any big plans and just wanted to get out of dodge and spend time with me! Well I don't think she realized who she was dealing with, when I have the option to plan something I am going to plan something! Plus I decided to re-live my 30th birthday through her since I spent mine at a funeral last Oct. So I go through our options and decide to cash in some of my hotel points for a night in Philly and then thought we would go out to a nice dinner and then party til the bars closed...just like old times!

Well the view from our hotel was awesome! When you stepped out on the balcony you had the best view of Logan Circle and the Art Museum, since it was an Embassy Suites hotel the room was huge and had two separate rooms. So we made ourselves pretty and went out for an awesome night! Since college we have affectionately called each other wingman since throughout the college years that is what we always were for each other. Well this night was no exception as she took her wingman status to an entirely different level.

The thing that I loved the most about this weekend besides the great night in Philly was the fact that I have had this fabulous woman in my life for almost 11 years. And I think that is one of the beauties of being in a sorority. I still keep in touch with at least 10 of the girls and when we get together even if years have passed it is just like old times. I love looking back on the crazy things we got ourselves into and the funny stories, I can hear them 100 times and they just don't get old for me. But the best part of it all is even as most of us are getting older, we still get together and create NEW stories and memories to laugh about in the future! I know the events from this past Saturday will keep me and my wingman laughing until our next crazy get together!

So Happy 30th to my Wingman, fellow Tri Sigma, and amazing friend!!! I am truly blessed to have someone like you in my life! And here's to another 30 years of crazy memories and nights of randomness!
